Python2.7 on non-root macports: tries to install in /Applications — at Initial Version

Reported by: jaime@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: Cc:
Port: python27

Description

Hi, I am using a computer without root access, thus I have my own local macports installation. I compiled Macports from sources with the following options:

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin ./configure \ --prefix=/mn/xsan/d9/jaime/ports \ --enable-readline \ --with-install-user=id -un \ --with-install-group=id -gn \ --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \ --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib \ --with-tclpackage=/mn/xsan/d9/jaime/ports/share/macports/Tcl \ --with-frameworks-dir=/mn/xsan/d9/jaime/Applications \ --with-applications-dir=/mn/xsan/d9/jaime/Library \ --with-no-root-privileges \ --with-macports-user=id -un

In general I have managed to compile almost every package that I needed successfully until I tried with python2.7. It compiles fine, but when the port is being activated, it complains about not having access to /Applications (which should not be used at all!):

---> Activating python27 @2.7.1_1 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: can't create directory "/Applications/Python 2.7": permission denied

I would appreciate any help regarding this issue!

Cheers
